]
ton of the Endorsement of Senator
Sherman by to-day's convention, was
due to the interference of some of
Blaine's lieutenantS in the East. This
can be stated upon the most direct au-
thOrity. After the committee on plat
form had finally decided last night to
report the GrOSvenOr resolutions, dis
patches were received from the East by
the chief leader of the anti-Sherman
element, saying that opposition on the
floor of the convention would be ill-ad-
vised and calculated to do more harm
than good to Blaine'S interest. There
upon it was decided to let the question
go by default. The Eastern advisers,
it is said, were Messrs. BOutelle and
Aiilliken.

to appeal to you, as Republicans, how i'm
portant il is that the next legislature should
be equal to the last, and l trust that
